THE final arguments In the Bell tele-
phone case were made yesterday. During
the progress Of this suit many s9ir-
tied scenes were enacted, and the CON
tests Of forensic skill in debate have
hardly been paralleled on similar occasions.
We publish in another column the perora-
tion and close Of the argument of Mr..
Dickerson In defense of Mr.. Bell made on
Monday. During its delivery there was a.
hushed stiffness throughout the court
room, and every auditors attention
was profoundly held by the eloquence
and lucid argument OF the orator. Mr..
Dickerson's effort In behalf of his client
was most brilliant, ranking with the high.
est efIusions Of legal luminaries in the his
tory OF his country. Another most rem ark.
able scene In this case occurred in the court
yesterday, when Mr.. Hill made the accuse.
tion of forgery against Mr.. storrow, which
was successfully denied. Daring the ac
cusation the excitement was at fever heat,
a description Of which wepubllsh elsewhere
When the court adjourned the counsel on
Mr.. Hill's side hastened up to Mr., Storrow

THE Blair bill has been put to sleep in
the committee on rules by the distinguished
leaders of the Democratic party, Messrs.
Carlisle, Randall, and Morrison. The Re-
publican members OF the committee, Messrs.
Reed ard Hiscock, need one Democratic
vote to enable them to report the bill back
to the House. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN

TIE time has come for Congress to amend
the street railway franchises, and require
them to pay at once such percentage of
the gross earnings of the corporation as an
examination into their affairs will Justify.
All new franchises should stipulate that
after term of five years tax equal to two
and half mills erpassenger should be paid
into the public treasury. In the city of st.
Louis, on one important thoroughfare, the
horse railway company pays six per cent.
upon its gross earnings aud was glad to
obtain renewal Of their charter on those
terms. This in addition to Keeping the
pavement between the rails in repair and
some fourteen inches on either side Of the

business to look after such nm importautin-
tepst, and thereby reduce the general bur

serves careful reading Randall has out
generated the speaker, for in the end the
Democrats In the principal tobacco. raising

truth is that, at the opening of this Con-

ADVANCE STYLES.

We have received this
morning, among osher
things, a few lines of Prince
Albert Frock Goats and
Vests. The Prince Albert
is always in order. The
young, the old, the grave,
the gay, may with equal
propriety wear it, aud on
occasions as radically diff
ferent in character as one
occasion can possibly be
from another. For in
stance, it is as proper to ap-
pear in a Prince Albert on
an occasion of mourning as
it is at a wedding, a recep-
ton, or a morning call,
while it is very much worn
by men of quiet and settled
tastes yet no "dressy"
young man can afford to
ignore its claims ; ergo, it is
the most useful style of gar
ment, because it can be
used on more occasions
with perfect propriety than
any style Of coat now in
vogue.
There is a style and finish
to those we make and sell
that can't be well described,
but the absence of which at
once stamps a coat as Of
common make, poor work.
manship, and generally of
inferior character. In buy
ing a Prince Albert, we
imagine a man wants all
the tone and snap that can
be found in one garment,
and no Prince Albert lack
ing these essentials ever
finds a place in our stock.
Our Spring Overcoats are
daily arriving. They are
the handsomest things OF
the kind we have ever seen.

If one has q soil suited to ia heavy

very easily. The fruit is so grateful to
the taste and useful TO the house-keeper
that it should be given fair trial,
either in the garden borders or wherever
tree can be planted so rs to secure
plenty of light and air. The young
trees may be one or two years old from
the bulb; | should prefer the former, if
vigorous. Never be induced to pur-
chase old trees by promises of speedy
fruit. 1t is quite possible YOU may never
get any fruit at all from them worth
mentioning. | should allow space of
from ten to fifteen feet between the trees
when they are planted together, and /
should cut them back so that they would
begin 10 branch ut two feet from the
ground. Long, naked stems are sub

perience of Mr.. +. :. Force. of New
burg, who exhibited seventy varieties
at the last annual Orange County fair.
His plum orchard is a large poultry
yard containing half an acre, of which
the ground Is good loan, resting on q
heavy clay subsoil. He bought trees
but one year from the bud, set them out
in autumn, and cut them back so that
they began to form their heads at two
feet from the ground. He prefers start

age. and he did not permit them to
bear for the first three years, his primal
aim being to develop healthy, vigor-

head. During this period the ground
about them was kept mellow by good
cultivation, and being rich enough to
start with, received no fertilizers. Ii is

black knot. which has destroyed many
orchards in this vicinity. If the garden

The mysteries OF the japanese lac
have never been mastered by European
workmen. Their artists were crafts
men of untiring patience, and placed
by the conditions of feudal life above
the needs of mere money making. They
were often ennobled and always es-
tecmed. They were the companions of
princes. They did not hesitate to lavish
on a sword guard or an ivory toggle, a
screen or minute decoration of
sword hilt, all their artistic genius in
design or pictorial effect The modern
lac is an ephemeral production-thin in
texture, with overlaid gliding of effective
but not solid character. Its panels and
cabinets. rich with incrustations. are
gaudy and ill-drawn. There is nothing
in which the collector so often goes
astray. The old japanese lac resists
